However, when I exit sysinstall and use the configuration file that was produced, it works. This leads me to think that its not a configuration issue. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone has gotten XFree86 configured successfully using sysinstall. I'd appreciate confirmation that it has been used to configure XFree86 without problems using sysinstall. My concern is that when a new user attempts to install and runs into this, they're going to give up. I'd appreciate any comments on this since I'm trying to update the handbook/install section for 4.6-RELEASE. It makes it pretty difficult to document if I can't seem to make it work. Thanks!
